It would be nice to see part of the G-code that has the problem to get an idea what is going on. Are you saying it blew out the tip on you torch. That may have happened if you did not have the pierce height set and it was on the metal not above it. You need to run the G-code without plasma on to see what it is doing so you don't keep blowing tips out. What table did you get???

The error on line 40 I expect is related to a change in your post processor you made. If you made a change in teh post processor I would change it back to how it was for now until you get better info on the post change.

Blowing the side out of the tip is a different issue altogether. I expect you have excessive moisture and/or oil in your air supply. Black or grey swirling marks on your electrode and nozzle are a good indication of dirty air but since your blowing up consumables thats a good indicator also.

What do you have for air filtration?
